Abstract

The article focuses on the parallels between general semantics and sophistic rhetoric, highlighting how both traditions challenge dominant Platonic and Aristotelian views. Topics include the historical tensions between general semantics and classical rhetoric, the shared pragmatic and anti-metaphysical orientation of semanticists and sophists, and the potential benefits of integrating general semantics into contemporary rhetorical education.
